BOCA Group

What BOCA Group does

BOCA Group International is a privately held vertical transportation consulting firm founded in 1995 and headquartered in New York City. The firm specializes in elevator and escalator consulting for building owners, managers, developers, architects, due diligence firms, hotels, sports venues, and educational institutions. Its services span the full asset lifecycle, including property condition assessments, feasibility and traffic studies, code and violation consulting, maintenance specifications and evaluations, third-party inspections and witnessing, modernization and upgrade oversight, new construction design, project management, commissioning, and energy audits. BOCA is one of the largest such firms in the United States, with 10 staffed offices and a workforce of 51-100 employees serving enterprise clients nationwide.

The firm's underlying technology layer is modest: BOCATrack, a patent-pending software tool, enables building owners to self-report elevator and escalator call-back data and track preventive maintenance hours against contracts, aggregating results in a dashboard. In 2024 the company entered a strategic partnership with AuditMate, an AI-powered elevator auditing and management platform, to integrate technology-enabled monitoring with its consulting practice. BOCA has also secured third-party regulatory witnessing roles in jurisdictions including New York, Florida, and Maryland.

Revenue is generated through project-based, fee-for-service professional engagements with multi-year contract cadences; pricing is quote-based and customized to scope, building size, and unit count. The go-to-market motion is enterprise field sales, supported by industry reputation, referrals from architects and developers, AIA continuing education, and content marketing via the company's website. Quantified client outcomes include at least $400,000 in annual maintenance savings for Behringer Harvard and a 2-to-4 star upgrade at Hilton Miami Downtown following modernization, underscoring the cost and tenant-experience value proposition delivered to property owners.
